{"product_id":"9781853260995","title":"Kim by Professor Cedric M.A.Ph.D. Watts","description":"With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex.   Kim is Rudyard Kipling's finest work. Now controversial, this novel is a memorably vivid evocation of the life and landscapes of India in the late nineteenth century. Kim himself is a resourceful lad who befriends a lama, an ageing priest; and both embark on a combined quest. Whereas Kim has an insatiable interest in the varied activities around him, the lama seeks redemption from the `Wheel of Life'. Kim becomes involved in the `Great Game':, undertaking espionage for the British rulers.   This engrossing and moving novel, with its diversity of memorable characters, offers many insights into political, religious and social tensions.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313087820149,"sku":"9781853260995","price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781853260995.jpg?v=1762825330","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781853260995","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
